Thumbnail Challenge- 3 by olivetreeann

Thumbnail Challenge- 3

I would like to say something witty and interesting about the number three...

but after helping my friend out with her yard sale today, I'm too tired!
Yard sales are exausting! Get some rest...and this three looks great as it is.

Sometimes the wit and humour is right there, sometimes its not. This is rather neat!
July 12th, 2012  
Works without a caption, and hopefully you will get around to telling us what it is...
July 12th, 2012  
Sorry you are so tired! This is eye catching and your calendar view is looking great!
July 12th, 2012  
Very cool!

@mrssmith @maggiemae @dmariewms @espyetta @lyoungs1023

Thank you Carla! I don't think it would be as exhausting if it was about 10 degrees cooler and there was no humidity in the air!

Thanks Maggie! Tomorrow is another day- perhaps I'll have some fun with 4.

Thanks Marie- it's a number on a pinball machine in our clubhouse (Terminator 3).

Thanks MaryBeth! I'm liking it too!

Thanks Elizabeth!

wow- did I list these thank yous in a kooky way!
July 12th, 2012  
excellent shot here ann!
July 12th, 2012  
Cool

Lyn
Someday I'm going to figure out exactly how you are coming up with all of these!!
July 12th, 2012  
Great find!! Hope you get some rest!
July 12th, 2012  
your three is great. i rather like the holes or pores.
July 12th, 2012  
Now that's a cool three

@adobewaters Thanks Adobe!
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri!
@lyno Thanks Lyn! I try to keep my eyes open and sometimes, as in the case of these numbers, if I know I'm going to be doing a certain challenge, I look for things ahead of time. Once I did the #1 and decided to do the actual numbers- I found 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 rather quickly. It's really a matter of just paying attention to your surroundings!
@twinsplusone Thanks Sharon!
@summerfield Thanks Vikki!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick!

Thanks to everyone!!

Cool find

Bev
That looks like a speaker.. Great shot! I love the tone.
July 12th, 2012  
Quite a retro looking number 3, cool find!
July 12th, 2012  
Cool 3! Love the texture/pattern too! Your number series is looking good!
July 12th, 2012  
Very interesting shot. Love the tones.

@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi!
@prttblues Thanks Bev!
@salza Thanks Sally
@alia_801 Thanks Alia!
@sangwann Thanks Dione!

On to Day 2 of my friend's yard sale and #4.
July 12th, 2012  
@prttblues I forgot to mention in my thanks that this one was also taken at the clubhouse. It's from a pinball machine.
July 12th, 2012  
I can relate. I don't do yard sales any more after so many bad experiences years ago with people haggling and fighting over stuff ;-) But I certainly have found some good things at our neighbor's garage sales. "Because I am nice, I always give the asking price." I had to throw in a poem .... silly me. Anyway, you are doing a great job so far on the numbers theme. Pinball Wizard, eh?
July 12th, 2012  
Your three looks like it should be zooming along. It has lots of character, It would also make a great M.
July 12th, 2012  
Interesting POV and textures! Works great in b&W
July 12th, 2012  
Sharp! Nicely composed, punchy image Ann.
July 12th, 2012  
Wow - this three has style, great find .. groovy lady!
July 12th, 2012  
Great shot!
July 12th, 2012  
Cool No.3, terrific b&w
July 12th, 2012  
There is so much imagination in your pictures. who would ever make a 3 like that? I think it looks great.
it certainly brought a smile to my face.
July 13th, 2012  
@cimes1 Thanks Carole! I know- we're getting a lot of people who think they can dicker even the lowest prices. I'm glad I'm not the one who has to deal with them. The days have started out nice but get increasingly warm (whereupon my patience would grow thin if it was my stuff on sale!) Two more days of this and it will be over. yay! I'm not pinball wizard- I just take pictures of them!

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole- yes, I suppose you could use for an M too, but it really is a 3 (as in the name of the game: Terminator 3). I imagine this one is popular with the kids, but so far I haven't been there when they'd be playing it.
@shirljess Thanks Shirley! The b/w week looks good against last week's rainbow which is what I was thinking would look nice.
@automaticslim Thanks Andy!
@filsie65 Thanks Phil! Groovy- now there's a word I haven't heard in a while!
@paulavdmerwe Thanks Paula!
@wenbow Thanks Wendy!
@bruni Thanks Bruni! This is a close-up of a 3 on a pinball machine in our clubhouse. It's sooc. So glad it made you smile!
July 13th, 2012  
I love the number three ....no matter what. It always reminds me of the Triune God.
July 13th, 2012  
@karenann the best 3 ever! thanks Karenann!
July 13th, 2012  
How about "in fairytales, things happen in 3s."
July 13th, 2012  
@allie912 That's nice too- but I thought it was trouble that came in 3's!
July 13th, 2012  
my fav "3" so far!
July 14th, 2012  
Oooh I think this one is my favorite so far!
July 15th, 2012  
@woot Thanks Davide- yes, it's a peppy one!
@deniseinindy Thanks Denise! I was glad when my eye caught this one because I liked the design and knew it would photograph well in b/w.
July 15th, 2012  
Very cool!! Three as a busy bee you were today. :-)
July 15th, 2012  
@vposey thanks Vickie! Thanks for all!! your comments today!
July 16th, 2012  
Great 3 - love the textures.
July 17th, 2012  
@la_photographic Thanks Laura! It's somewhat of an optical illusion that there is texture here. It's artwork on a pinball machine- which of course is made of glass and flat!
